The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

[Haggis]

Tons and tons and tons of restricted firearms were created by the LPC after 2020, and they have no idea who has them.

There are tons of reasons the police could show up at your house and coincidentally discover a newly prohibited firearm. Alarm call, welfare check, emergency evacuation, SWATing etc.

You are correct there are many reasons the Cops can come to my door.

I've heard of many people (on this site, friends and acquaintances, posts on SM) who own now-restricted firearms that are planning on saying nothing and locking their guns up somewhere deep in their basement and not touching it unless they need it for the zombie apocalypse.

Imagine if they received an email directly to them (ie naming them by name, and not just a wide email blast to gun owners) that says basically "we know you have a restricted firearm, turn it in before October 30th or else face legal consequences". I wonder, amongst these people, how many would fess-up and turn their guns in and how many would continue to play quiet and hope it blows over.

For me it will be interesting when the CPC again takes Gov, that will happen, and if they reverse all this what comes creeping out of the shadows.

If the Gov knows what I have, why do they need me to register anything with them ?

I expect QC residents might receive such a personalized correspondence from the SQ in due course.

I suspect the next time the CPC forms government, will be after the deadline, and they won't bother with trying to reverse the prohibitions. Maybe handguns, if they haven't been confiscated by then...

While there are a lot of firearms owners in Canada, there aren't enough in the right ridings to make firearms a topic worth risking too many votes over.

If people don't turn in AR15s that are registered to them I see the CFRO simply canceling their firearm liscence.

That would be my expected COA from this government. I also expect that once this particular exercise is concluded that the portal will become a revived registry for all firearms.

Oui, c'est possible
